Rapid development of social games
We develop social games that we build and release very quickly, roughly one per week. Alongside the games, we created Rankador, an analytics platform that ranks social games to give insights similar to how PageRank ranks web pages.
We live in San Francisco, and we plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco is where our team lives and where the social gaming community and potential partners are concentrated. It's the best place for us to build and launch social games rapidly.
